PinDrop Acoustical Rendering Suite

AKRF's sophisticated acoustical rendering suite in Midtown Manhattan has been featured in the New York Times, Associated Press, and Fast Company.

Just as the architectural rendering has become an everyday method of visual communication, a calibrated acoustical rendering, or auralization, is the new normal for conveying subjective impressions of the acoustical environment.

PinDrop is AKRF’s floating “room within a room” providing a high level of acoustical isolation, an extremely low baseline level of sound, neutral sound response, and premium audio playback capability so our clients and partners can experience the built acoustical environment during design, evaluate acoustical adequacy of various design elements, and make informed decisions.

PinDrop is an essential part of our overall Floor 9 commercial office build-out.
